Please consider what the atmospheric density is when the speeds are occurring. On ascent, speeds are increasing as air density decreases. On decent, the shuttle is getting heavier as the air thickens and still needs to bleed off kinetic energy (in the form of heat).
No doubt NASA is lying their asses off about a great many things, but this phenomena fits with established, repeatable physics.

And all of those who weren't unalived went on to be most successful while they have been mourned by millions erroneously.. Do you suppose they feel any remorse? I seriously doubt it, but God knows what they did.
